data consistency

In part 1 of this series of blog posts, we talked about how the choice between NoSQL and SQL databases is bound to the core design of the application and I promised to get deeper into what this means. We started by looking into how support for a flexible schema is both advantageous and challenging. In this post, I will discuss CAP theorem and explain how it affects both the choice of the database technology and the application logic. Understanding CAP theorem and its implications is very important in designing a distributed system.
